A fifty? It's T20

The batsmen with most runs in the IPL without making a fifty

<b><a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/234675.html">Ravindra Jadeja</a></b> <b>Innings</b>: 80 <b>Runs</b>: 1350 <b>Top score</b>: 48<br> <b>Teams</b>: Chennai Super Kings, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Rajasthan Royals<br><b>Significant innings:</b> For a brief spell in 2013, Jadeja had the ability to pull off miracles with the bat, stealing wins against <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2013/engine/match/598012.html">Royal Challengers Bangalore</a> and <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2013/engine/match/598022.html">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>. Often not required to contribute in a strong Super Kings batting line-up, Jadeja's other useful innings spurred stellar bowling performances too, like against <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2012/engine/match/548311.html">Deccan Chargers</a> and <a href="http://www.hq.cricinfo.org/ci/engine/match/729297.html">Royals</a>  BCCI
<a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/32091.html"><b>Abhishek Nayar</b></a> <b>Innings</b>: 50 <b>Runs</b>: 672 <b>Top score</b>: 45*<br> <b>Teams</b>: Mumbai Indians, Kings XI Punjab, Pune Warriors, Rajasthan Royals<br><b>Significant innings:</b> Mumbai Indians only won two of the nine matches in which Nayar scored 25 or more in 2008 and 2009: his highest score came in a <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/335989.html">thrilling chase</a> they did not pull off against Chennai. He only played three matches for Mumbai Indians in 2010, and his batting average and strike-rate nosedived in subsequent seasons  BCCI

<b><a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/27223.html">Stuart Binny</a></b> <b>Innings</b>: 43 <b>Runs</b>: 622 <b>Top score: 48*</b><br> <b>Teams</b>: Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals<br><b>Significant innings:</b> Binny's best season with the bat was in 2013, occupying the No. 4 spot for Royals while batting first and donning the role of a finisher in successful chases against <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2013/engine/match/598047.html">Warriors</a> and <a href="http://www.hq.cricinfo.org/ci/engine/match/598058.html">Super Kings</a>. His IPL best came the next season in a successful final-over chase against <a href-"http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2014/engine/match/729285.html">Sunrisers</a>, but that remained his only innings of note  BCCI
<b><a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/31001.html">Mithun Manhas</a></b> <b>Innings</b>: 38 <b>Runs:</b> 514 <b>Top score:</b> 42*<br> <b>Teams</b>: Delhi Daredevils, Pune Warriors, Chennai Super Kings<br><b>Significant innings:</b> Like Nayar, Manhas' best too came in a <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2012/engine/match/548351.html">loss</a>, when Warriors lost by one run chasing 120 against Mumbai Indians in 2012. That was one of just eight scores of 25 or more in the IPL: in 2010, he supported Gautam Gambhir in taking Daredevils home against <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl2010/engine/match/419108.html">Kings XI</a> and <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl2010/engine/match/419155.html">Super Kings</a>. He hardly made an impact during Warriors' disastrous IPL existence (2011-13), and hardly got an opportunity once he moved to Super Kings in 2014  AFP
<b><a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/32966.html">Piyush Chawla</a></b> <b>Innings</b>: 60 <b>Runs</b>: 436 <b>Top score</b>: 24*<br> <b>Teams</b>: Kings XI Punjab, Kolkata Knight Riders<br><b>Significant innings:</b> A score of 13 may not seem much, but that's what Chawla made in five balls to help Knight Riders chase down 200 against Kings XI - the team he represented for the first six seasons - in the closely-fought <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2014/engine/match/734049.html">2014 IPL final</a>. A useful lower-order batsmen, Chawla has five scores of 20-plus - two of them coming when batting at No. 5 for Kings XI  BCCI
